Third Person P.O.V

A basket washes up onto shore, the sky now clear and the sun shining brightly. Ari and (Y/N)'s ship was flipped onto the sand, mostly undamaged.

Hei Hei clucks from his spot on the boat, a pot on his head. He shakes it off, stepping out onto nothing and shrieking in alarm as he falls.

Hei Hei lands in the pot once more, Ari jolting up and coughing as he wipes sand from his face.

He sputters lightly, groaning as he rises and stretches his back. He checks on the heart, clicking the necklace open and shutting it when he sees the green stone.

Ari's dazed look fades to alarm, his eyes widening as he gasps. "(Y/N)!"

He wipes the rest of the sand from his face and hair, swiftly looking around.

"Over here," (Y/N)'s voice calls, making him skid to a stop and rush to it.

She was sitting up in the sand, dusting off her face and hair and groaning groggily.

"You okay?" Ari questions in concern, kneeling next to her as she nods slowly.

"Yeah, yeah," (Y/N) confirms wiping sand off her arms as Ari helps her rise. "Just... Sore kind of. What happened?"

Ari grunts in anger, turning to glare at the ocean. "I'll tell you what! The ocean didn't help us!"

He stomps towards it angrily, his arms waving around with the action as (Y/N) watches with a raised brow.

Ari comes to a stop, stomping his foot. "Um, what?! She said help us!"

(Y/N) snickers lightly as he shouts at the ocean before looking around, her eyes landing on the wall behind her.

"Uh... Ari?"

"And wrecking our boat? Not. Helping!" Ari finishes, firmly pointing back to the toppled boat before swinging his leg back.

He goes to kick the water, the ocean moving from his path and causing him to fall back.

"Ari?"

"Fish pee in you all day!" Ari childishly grumbles, rising and pointing his finger to the ocean as he waves it. "So..."

He growls in frustration, (Y/N) walking over with her own angry huff.

"Ari!"

Ari jumps in alarm, quickly turning to her in bewilderment. Her expression was firm, her hands on her hips.

"... Yes?"

She points behind her, making him peek around curiously before his face falls in confusion.

Hei Hei clucks, as he walks into the wall multiple times, the pot still on his head.

"What? Seems about normal to me," Ari mumbles in a monotone, raising a brow at the rooster.

"No, not that." (Y/N) sighs, turning around to face Hei Hei. "That."

She points to the right, Ari following her finger before gasping softly. Littering the wall were large fish hooks, tallies as the design to symbolize the days.

"Maui?"

Ari questions, the two turning to the ocean. It rises, nodding and lowering back into itself.

"Guess the ocean did help," (Y/N) says as she looks over the marks. "In its own weird way."

The sound of someone approaching causes Ari to look over, (Y/N) noticing a shadow moving along the wall.
